She spent the whole week in his appartement with zero interest in the city itself. That was extreme, of course, no matter how charming my son is. But still, I told him… well, she is from London, what could you possibly show her in Montreal that would impress her ? Not much of course. Except of course… the vibe, the ambiance of the city, but that is intangible.

Definitely agree with the basics of this.
Would she have been wowed by Toronto, comparatively speaking? Maybe because it is more modern and has taller buildings? Perhaps...
